I am assuming you are on task 2.
There are a few things to note about this challenge.
First, you are asked to add a new route to the view, not replace it. So the original "/multiply" should still be there. In the later tasks you will be asked to add more.
Second, none of the tasks ask you to return a string in the format that you have provided. You should leave the returned product as you had it for task 1 until you are specifically asked to change it.
And third, although it shouldn't affect the outcome, you are not asked to add a "/" route.
The thing with these challenges is that if you add, remove, or change anything that was not asked for there is a high probability that it won't pass, even if it is valid code.
Hope this helps.
